Story1
Dottie Badoura Fatma Balfour finds solace amidst the squalor of her childhood by spinning warm tales of affection about her beautiful names. But she knows nothing of their origins, and little of her family history—or the abuse her ancestors suffered as they made their home in Britain. At seventeen, she takes on the burden of responsibility for her brother and sister and is obsessed with keeping the family together. However, as Sophie, lumpen yet voluptuous, drifts away, and the confused Hudson is absorbed into the world of crime, Dottie is forced to consider her own needs.

Story0
Dear Catherine, he began. Here I sit, making a meal out of asking you to dinner. I don’t really know how to do it. To have cultural integrity, I would have to send my aunt to speak, discreetly, to your aunt, who would then speak to your mother, who would speak to my mother, who would speak to my father, who would speak to me and then approach your mother, who would then approach you. Demoralised by small persecutions and the squalor and poverty of his life, Daud takes refuge in his imagination.

Poverty and depravity wreak havoc on Hassan Omar’s family. Amid great hardship he decides to escape. The arrival of independence brings new upheavals as well as the betrayal of the promise of freedom. The new government, fearful of an exodus of its most able men, discourages young people from travelling abroad and refuses to release examination results. Deprived of a scholarship, Hassan travels to Nairobi to stay with a wealthy uncle, in the hope that he will release his mother’s rightful share of the family inheritance.

Story1
He thinks, as he escapes from Zanzibar, that he will probably never return, and yet the dream of studying in England matters above that. Things do not happen quite as he imagined—the school where he teaches is cramped and violent, he forgets how it feels to belong. But there is Emma, beautiful, rebellious Emma, who turns away from her white, middle-class roots to offer him love and bear him a child. And in return, he spins stories of his home and keeps her a secret from his family. Twenty years later, the barriers come down in Zanzibar and he is able and compelled to go back.

Een coming-of-age-verhaal dat de hardheid en tegelijk de schoonheid belicht van een Afrika op de rand van kolonisatie. Yusuf, geboren in Oost-Afrika, staat niet lang stil bij de reis die hij gaat maken. Het komt niet in hem op om te vragen waarom hij oom Aziz vergezelt of waarom het vertrek zo plotseling is georganiseerd, of wanneer hij überhaupt terug zal keren. De waarheid is dat zijn 'oom' een rijke en machtige koopman is en dat Yusuf aan hem is verpand om de schulden van zijn vader af te betalen.

Salim è un bambino intelligente, amante dei libri, e ha sempre saputo di essere un figlio indesiderato per suo padre Masud. Così è cresciuto affascinato dallo zio Amir, un uomo brillante ed estroverso, che vive con loro in una casa piena di segreti che alimentano gli incubi notturni del ragazzo. Sono gli anni ’70 e Zanzibar sta cambiando volto: l’arrivo dei turisti sulle spiagge bianche dell’isola offusca rapidamente la memoria dell’indipendenza dal Regno Unito e della rivoluzione che ha dato un nuovo assetto al paese.

Amin, der Mittlere der Brüder, verliebt sich in Jamila, doch beider Leidenschaft zerbricht schon bald am Widerstand seiner Familie und Gerüchten um die Vergangenheit der jungen Frau.

Rashid beginnt ein Studium in London, das Schicksal von Amin und Jamila lässt ihn aber selbst in der Ferne nicht los.

Gurnahs bewegender Coming-of-Age-Roman über Verrat und Migration als Hörbuch. Salim ist sieben und ein kleiner Träumer. Sein Leben ruht auf einigen scheinbar unerschütterlichen Säulen: der täglichen Routine von Schule und Koranunterricht, den geliebten Büchern und seinem angebeteten Onkel, der sich ihm – anders als sein Vater – nicht ständig entzieht. Aber es sind die 1970er-Jahre und folglich keine guten Zeiten für Träumer, denn der Geist des Wandels fegt über Sansibar.
